The Wicklow Model

Becoming a Millionaire
in the Public Sector –
Without Corruption

A bold model that rewards civil servants and NGOs
for achieving real, measurable societal impact.

Learn how it works

The Problem

Many reforms that could bring
massive benefits to society
remain stuck ...

No leverage
between institutions

Large reforms require cooperation between multiple institutions, yet one official has no tools to influence others.

Political
instability

Every new government shifts priorities, pushing long-term projects aside.

No Reward No Reform

No personal
motivation or reward

Civil servants take all the risks but receive no personal gain.

The Insight

Like in the private sector,
the public sector needs financial
incentives to ...

  • Encourage innovation
  • Take smart risks
  • Align personal and public interests
Motivation Drives Reform Insight

The Solution

The Wicklow Model
leverages performance rewards
against measurable change

How it works

  1. Define a clear societal problem and success goal
  2. Set up a success-fee fund (e.g., from reserve funds)
  3. Track contributions transparently
  4. Pay rewards only after the goal is verified
Success Based System

Officials get rewarded only if a measurable goal is achieved

The 0/1 principle: either success or no reward

Designed for complex, cross-agency reforms
